NO more frustration trying to get the perfect portrait
SINCE 2018
Have you scrolled through a dozen photography websites?
Is it all starting to blend together? The grassy parks. The outfits. The poses that look nothing like anything your family actually does together?
Crazy idea: What if instead, we made colorful art of your everyday life? What if the experience was easy and your family actually enjoyed it?
What if you believed me?
If you want to feel nostalgic for the present, look no further. Daisy does not miss a beat.
Our photos are a reminder that what we have in life is beautiful, invaluable, and uniquely wonderful to us.
hi, new friend!
I’m Daisy, and you’re very welcome here.
I’ve been running barefoot through my clients’ backyards and climbing on their furniture for the sake of seriously good photos since 2018. Family photos can feel both exciting and stressful, but I can definitely minimize the stress now that you’re here. I’ll guide you every step of the way.
what is a family Story session?
Documentary family photos have superpowers. They have the ability to bring people together over inside jokes, little moments, and shared stories about the good ol’ days.
The activity is up to you: play board games, go on a walk, or laugh yourselves silly.
The end result? Photos that showcase your family doing what you love. Photos you can proudly hang on the walls and hand down to the next generation.
Photos that say, “this is us.”
Chaos is encouraged.
yes, really.
Everyone worries about how their kids (or their spouse) will behave during photos. Traditional family portraits can feel cheesy and faked with the “1, 2, 3, smile.” Not in front of my lens.
I will help you come up with a plan and provide guidance on how we can structure our time together, but this is 2 hours of your life where you get to re-connect as a family. Your photos will capture the genuine fun and laughter you share together.
Let’s make your new favorite family photos
HOW IT WORKS
1. Say hello
You reach out to me, and we chat on the phone. You spill the beans about your family, I share details about my process. If we fit together like PB&J, we find a time for your session.
I’ll send you everything you need to feel prepared and confident.
2. Have a stress-free session
I come over for an extended playdate. Our first session together is in your home, where your kids are most comfortable (which makes the best photos). We spend about 2 hours together turning memories into your new favorite photos.
3. The reveal
Just 3 weeks later, you get your gallery of images. You watch the slideshow and cry alligator tears. You get the digital files, and you also have my support in designing albums and prints so you have something tangible to display around your home. You do a happy dance. You did it!
Daisy made the whole process so relaxing. We all felt so comfortable with her.
My kids do best at home where they’re free to run and be wild, and Daisy jumped right into the chaos and seemed to have just as much fun as they were.
